Over the last few weeks I have been enjoying a lot of BLTs and when I made the fried green tomatoes the other day it reminided me of how much I enjoy fried green tomato BLTs. A fried green tomato BLT is just like it sounds, a BLT sandwich where the ripe red tomatoes slices are replaced with gried green tomato slices. These sandwiches take a bit more work to make than your regular BLT but it is well worth the effort! The crispy coated tart and tangy fried green tomatoes go really well together with the salty bacon and the fresh lettuce. Although a smear of mayonnaise is grat on these gried green tomato BLTs, I often loke to go with a tasty remoulade sauce instead.

Fried Green Tomato BLT with Remoulade

A twist on the classic BLT swapping out the ripe red tomatoes for crispy cornmeal coated fried green tomatoes and adding a tasty remoulade sauce.

Am i the first one to make a comment on your blog post? :) This sandwich looks awesome. I can't believe you used to eat boring food but look what you're making now. BLT with green tomatoes instead of the red one is a great idea. Such a lovely sandwich with lots of flavor.

The food looks tempting what with the presentation and the fine ingredients. Great food goes so well with fine cigars. The aroma of tobacco, the texture of the leaves and the earthiness of the flavors are qhat set fine cigars apart. In case you would like to check great Cigars online, do make it a point to search the net.

You come up with some of the greatest ideas! I love, love, love fried green tomatoes. (I make mine a bit differently but I totally agree with you about the bacon grease.) I never ever thought to put them on a sandwich. (Usually I just stuff them into my mouth as fast as I can make them.) Thank you for sharing this sandwhich idea!

Looks amazing! I want to make this but where does one find green tomatoes? I've noticed that not one person has mentioned difficulty finding them. I shop at Safeway, Walmart and our local fresh market and not once have I seen them.

Chef Tracey: I actually have a hard time finding green tomatoes as well. In fact they are usually only available to me for a few short weeks in the fall around now at the farmers market. I am not sure why they are s difficult to get, I mean I am sure that the farmers have green tomatoes all summer but they only bring them in in the fall. I guess there is not as much demand for them up here. Good luck finding some! They are definitely worth trying!
